Chapter 141 Special Wake-up Methods
Chapter 141 Special Wake-up Methods
A chill instantly swept over my entire body.
Jiang Yubai's lips moved twice, then she choked up and couldn't speak.
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, she turned her head and continued working.
She didn't even notice the man's frozen expression.
As for why the other party invited her to see the musical, Jiang Wan was unwilling to elaborate further.
Just as he said, he doesn't have many friends, but he's been getting along well with her lately.
It's perfectly normal to invite her along.
Jiang Wan is not a narcissistic person.
But just in case, she still had to tell them that she had a boyfriend.
To avoid any misunderstandings or awkward situations in the future.
Jiang Yubai watched her busy figure, his mind in turmoil.
He never even considered the possibility that she would have a boyfriend.
At this moment, he only had two paths before him.
One is to give up immediately.
The other path is to seize an opportunity to rise to power.
Given his years of education, he should have chosen the first path without hesitation.
But when fate brings you together, you give up before it even begins.
He was not reconciled.
Perhaps I am the one destined for you?
This so-called boyfriend might just be a passerby in Jiang Wan's life.
Jiang Yubai followed his heart and decided to choose the second path first.
Whether it's your destined partner or not, you'll only know after you've tried.
If you give up now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
He has no regrets.
At the very least, you should only give up after trying your best and finding that there is absolutely no chance.
After confirming his idea, Jiang Yubai felt a sense of self-consistency.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Jiang Wan turned around and found that the person on the sofa had already gone to open the door.
Soon, he returned carrying a bag.
Jiang Wan knew that it contained lunch.
He hired a chef specifically to prepare nutritious meals.
The only difference is that they don't let the other person come to their home to cook; instead, they cook it and have it delivered.
Jiang Yubai placed the paper bag on the dining table and took out four dishes and a soup from it with one hand.
His gaze swept toward the figure beside the bookshelf, and after hesitating for two seconds, he spoke softly.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Jiang Wan paused.
"Thank you, teacher. I ate a lot this morning, so I'm not hungry yet."
After saying that, he continued working.
Rejected again, Jiang Yubai felt a tightness in his chest.
He suppressed his negative emotions, sat down, and began to eat.
A dozen minutes later, Jiang Wan dusted off her knees and walked over.
"Teacher, the living room is done. Do you think the second floor needs any tidying up?"
The man put down his chopsticks. "No need."
Jiang Wan was overjoyed; she could finally go eat.
"Okay, I'll be going now. Call me if you need anything."
"Um."
Jiang Wan took off her dirty gloves and threw them into the trash can, then tied the plastic bag inside and pulled it out.
Goodbye, Teacher Bai.
She picked up her bag and prepared to walk towards the entrance.
A voice suddenly rang out from beside the dining table.
"Jiang Wan".
She stopped and looked at him.
"My surname is Jiang, the Jiang with the water radical."
The sudden mention of her surname caught Jiang Wan off guard.
However, she quickly put on a smile.
"Okay, from now on I'll call you Teacher Jiang."
Seeing that he didn't intend to say anything more, Jiang Wan added, "Goodbye, Teacher Jiang."
She stepped into the entryway, and the person in the chair's eyes dimmed.
Jiang Yubai introduced his surname because he wanted to hear Jiang Wan say "we are destined to meet".
Homophones with different characters are also a kind of fate.
But she didn't seem to notice.
What Jiang Yubai didn't know was that Jiang Wan didn't sense it because she had poor perception.
Rather, it's because of fate that she has been elevated to an incredibly high level in her relationship with Shang Shixu.
Let alone homophones with different characters, she doesn't find it strange that they share the same name.
As long as the characters aren't obscure, there are plenty of people across the country with the same name as you.
Jiang Yubai gazed at the floor-to-ceiling window as Jiang Wan's figure passed by and quickly disappeared from sight.
He looked away, the message "Jiang Wan's boyfriend is coming back tomorrow" flashing through his mind.
After a moment's thought, I picked up my phone and booked an appointment with a specialist for my follow-up visit tomorrow afternoon.

Jiang Wan threw away the trash bag and walked towards the entrance of the residential area under the blazing sun.
Suddenly, her phone started vibrating continuously in her bag, so she took it out to check.
It's Gu Manning. Press to answer.
"Wanwan."
"What's wrong?"
"Do you take on part-time jobs? I have a client who wants someone to write his biography."
"I remembered that you majored in Chinese literature, which is a good fit for your field. If you'd like to write, I can help you get introduced to it."
Gu Manning knew that Jiang Wan and Shang Shixu were together, so how much money she wanted was not a problem.
But she knew that Jiang Wan had not given up.
She shared the same thoughts.
In any case, you must have your own career.
After hearing about the part-time job details, Jiang Wan was somewhat tempted.
Although she has never written a biography, she could learn if the money was right.
"How much fee are they willing to pay for the article?"
Gu Manning's calm voice came through, "He's willing to pay 100,000 yuan, but he requires at least 500,000 words."
Jiang Wan's eyes sparkled after hearing this.
Although it would take three months to write 500,000 words, the cost of 100,000 yuan for three months is quite reasonable.
Consider it an opportunity to hone your writing skills.
"Sure, you can recommend one for me."
"I'll let you know when I have the results."
"Okay~"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wan hummed a little tune as she hailed a taxi back to her apartment.
We eat lunch at 2 PM.
After finishing my meal, I started learning how to write a biography online.
She is like a sponge, constantly absorbing new knowledge.
The day was drawing to a close before we knew it.
After taking a shower in the evening, Jiang Wan leaned against the headboard and scrolled through her phone.
Before going to bed, I opened WeChat and sent a message to Shang Shixu.
Goodnight, brother.
Knowing he was on the plane, Jiang Wan went straight to sleep after sending the message.
I can see him when I wake up after a good night's sleep.
But Jiang Wan never expected that she would be woken up by "special services".

4:00 AM, Haicheng International Airport.
As the late-night flights landed, passengers emerged in twos and threes, dragging their suitcases.
Everyone's face showed the fatigue of a long journey.
A tall figure passed through the turnstile.
A designer dark blue collared shirt with rolled-up cuffs, paired with slim-fit jeans in the same color family.
Silver-gray sunglasses hung from his collar.
His steps were steady and powerful, but somewhat fast.
There was no sign of fatigue on his face.
Pei Heyun followed half a step behind him, wearing an orange-yellow Hawaiian-style short-sleeved shirt, white shorts, and a pair of luxury sandals.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he had just returned from a vacation on an island.
After he finished yawning, he spoke to Shang Shixu in front of him.
"Brother Xu, are you walking so fast to see Maruko?"
A word came from ahead.
"Um."
Pei Heyun shook his head with a mixture of helplessness, envy, and admiration.
"You barely slept all night, yet you're still so energetic. Love works on you better than any stimulant."
Shang Shixu ignored him and didn't slow down.
Two bodyguards followed behind the two, each carrying a suitcase.
The group walked out of the hall.
The sky was a pale gray, and the sun had not yet risen.
The black Rolls-Royce was parked there, and the driver had already opened the door and was waiting.
"Young Master."
Shang Shixu bent down and sat down.
Pei Heyun, accompanied by his bodyguards, got into his own car in the back.
*
4:46 AM.
Shang Shixu opened the apartment door and gently closed it behind him.
The room was completely quiet.
There was a half-eaten bag of potato chips on the coffee table, sealed with a cute bunny hair clip.
There were knotted takeout boxes in the trash can.
Shang Shixu smiled slightly as he looked at the closed door.
He put down his luggage and went straight to the bathroom.
At five in the morning, she walked out wearing a black silk robe, came to the bedroom door, and gently turned the doorknob.
Open the door, and the interior comes into view.
Under the thin summer blanket, there was a small bulge.
Jiang Wan curled up, sleeping soundly.
Completely unaware that "danger" was approaching.
Shang Shixu carefully got into bed, lifted a corner of the blanket, and lay down.
There was some space between the two.
He turned his head to look at her as she slept.
It was as if they wanted to relive the past ten days or so of separation all at once.
He couldn't help but reach out and cup her cheeks in his palm, his thumb touching her full, pink lips.
caress……
Jiang Wan let out a soft moan unconsciously.
The man's eyes darkened, he withdrew his hand, and crawled under the covers.
......
Jiang Wan was awakened by an itch.
